i don't understand the minds of some people

We tend to make allowances for Americans, but 'my partner' would suffice, as a description. Calling your partner 'Handsome mando player' might sound cute to you, but it annoys the fuck out of the rest of the world.

If you're too dim to take decent precautions, or have ever noticed the need to do so, then more fool you.

Americans get pretty upset if told that they are stupid. Please get a different President!
